Learn Spanish in Bilbao

Bilbao is one of the largest, most vibrant cities in Spain. It is surrounded by mountains and beautiful beaches. Its climate, with an average year-round temperature of 20ºC, is ideal. The quality of life here is one of Bilbao’s best hallmarks. Bilbao is also famous for its University student life, the “tapas” bars, its cultural attractions, its gardens, its great shopping and for its beautiful buildings. Here, you will find a vibrant street-life, which is why it is sometimes referred to as “The capital of joy and satisfaction”.

Being located on the coast, it enables you to practice wide range of water sports, as well as tennis, swimming, horse back-riding and walking, all of which are compatible with our courses. You can also spend your spare time visiting the excellent bars and restaurants, specialised in regional cooking, as well as enjoying our traditional dances or visiting the beautiful natural surroundings.

Learning Spanish should not be limited to the classroom and we therefore offer a series of cultural and leisure activities during your stay. If you participate in this program you will be able to make friends as well as to get to know better other students from the school and, at the same time, practice your Spanish. The cultural and outdoor activities, such as sports, are intended both to amuse and to teach our students, so that they learn different elements of Spanish history and culture.

Hi There! I had the opportunity to take a Spanish course in Bilbao in summer time and it was awesome!!. I learned tons of Spanish! It was really rewarding to have direct contact with Spanish-speakers and also to discover this undiscovered secret of Spain called Bilbao. I met a lot of young people coming from all over the world and we had lots of fun together. Above all I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere I found there. The staff was young and dynamic and we had good times together: we went to the clubs, had lots of parties and enjoyed many of the famous events in Spain!!
